Before this DTC can be set, the cold start diagnosis and then the ordinary must first be carried out. The engine coolant temperature must be below 40°C (104°F) when the engine is started to achieve this. A DTC can therefore not  be generated if the engine is warm when started.

To perform a final check on a rectified fault, use the activating command on the diagnostics tool so that the cold start test is performed irrespective of the starting temperature.
